religion_n may_v not_o be_v reducible_a into_o a_o coalition_n or_o unity_n i_o answer_v no_o because_o they_o be_v so_o contrariant_n that_o they_o can_v never_o cement_v so_o as_o to_o yield_v a_o safe_a conduct_n to_o eternal_a life_n inasmuch_o as_o christ_n himself_o aver_v that_o in_o vain_a do_v all_o such_o worship_n he_o who_o teach_v for_o divine_a doctrine_n the_o tradition_n of_o man_n that_o whosoever_o add_v or_o diminish_v from_o scriptural-fundamentals_a despise_v and_o seek_v to_o nullify_v the_o wisdom_n and_o authority_n of_o god_n himself_o that_o popish_a principle_n undermine_v and_o subvert_v the_o all-sufficiency_n of_o christ_n in_o the_o execution_n of_o his_o office_n that_o as_o socinian_n can_v be_v account_v christian_n who_o deny_v the_o divinity_n of_o christ_n person_n so_o romanist_n who_o invalidate_n his_o office_n be_v antichristian_a in_o their_o spirit_n and_o in_o their_o mis-belief_n therefore_o there_o be_v no_o more_o hope_n that_o two_o religion_n so_o opposite_a shall_v ever_o cement_v in_o one_o according_a to_o the_o analogy_n of_o faith_n prescribe_v by_o christ_n than_o that_o light_n and_o darkness_n shall_v agree_v or_o have_v fellowship_n nor_o can_v there_o be_v any_o colour_n of_o right_a reason_n for_o that_o distinction_n that_o popish_a tradition_n be_v rather_o beside_o the_o rule_n and_o dictate_v of_o the_o scripture_n than_o direct_o contrary_a to_o they_o for_o whatever_o be_v not_o agreeable_a to_o the_o reveal_v perfect_a will_n of_o god_n either_o direct_o or_o by_o natural_a consequence_n or_o by_o right_a deduction_n it_o be_v a_o sin_n consider_v there_o be_v as_o little_a hope_n and_o comfort_n for_o that_o person_n who_o fall_v into_o a_o river_n by_o drip_v betwixt_o or_o beside_o the_o bridge_n as_o for_o he_o who_o direct_o cast_v himself_o into_o it._n both_o may_v be_v drown_v irrecoverable_o the_o one_o out_o of_o the_o inadvertency_n or_o mistake_v of_o a_o drunken_a giddyness_n the_o other_o out_o of_o the_o presumption_n of_o a_o sullen_a obstinacy_n there_o be_v more_o way_n which_o lead_v to_o death_n than_o the_o direct_a stab_v of_o one_o self_n so_o transgression_n on_o the_o right-hand_n in_o a_o superstitious_a zeal_n may_v ruin_v a_o man_n soul_n as_o certain_o as_o downright_a atheism_n and_o profaneness_n after_o these_o discourse_n i_o ask_v mr._n langhorne_n that_o i_o may_v pray_v with_o he_o he_o answer_v i_o no_o yet_o i_o desire_v your_o prayer_n at_o home_n he_o say_v that_o prayer_n in_o presence_n be_v a_o act_n of_o communion_n but_o it_o be_v unfit_a to_o join_v with_o one_o who_o be_v not_o a_o member_n of_o the_o roman_a church_n i_o reply_v that_o i_o think_v there_o be_v little_a or_o no_o difference_n in_o such_o distinct_a pray_v however_o it_o can_v not_o be_v any_o unlawful_a act._n he_o will_v not_o admit_v i_o to_o pray_v with_o he_o therefore_o to_o root_v out_o such_o a_o scruple_n i_o shall_v

a_o protestant_n join_v with_o a_o papist_n in_o prayer_n if_o they_o do_v not_o mix_v their_o private_a opinion_n which_o be_v fit_a for_o a_o disputation_n in_o the_o time_n of_o pray_v together_o such_o imprudence_n will_v turn_v prayer_n which_o be_v the_o badge_n of_o christian_a communion_n into_o a_o occasion_n of_o reproach_n and_o embitter_v each_o other_o spirit_n to_o remain_v at_o a_o
